Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

I'm starting to get excited! The weather is finally cooling down.
Won't be long before I can come out of my summer hibernation, and get some damn work done.

With all the discussion of spraypainting in recent week or so, I thought it would be a good time to finally get the fuel storage tank painted. It's not finished yet. The legs, ladder, and tank underside still need to be painted. I had a nice big Shell sign to put on, but because I had bought it many months ago, and it's been sitting in the shed, it went on all wrinkly and I took it off again. Used a much smaller one instead. Guess it doesn't look overly diminutive, but I would have preferred the big one. Lifes full of disappointments, eh.

Also repainted a Bridge Plate I bought a week ago. The original paint was in poor condition, and could not be saved. The number for this plate should arrive during the coming week. This plate is for the grey truck. It's about the only thing that will not require repainting later on. When I get the RAEME history book I have ordered, it may give me the epiphany I'm hoping for, so I can then start on a WW2 correct AEME TAC sign.
